Book Reviews of Down By the Bay (Raffi Songs to Read)
Book Review: An Upbeat Transition-to-Reading Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a silly, entirely enjoyable and lighthearted singing book, illustrated with two children trading turns to introduce the verses of this popular Raffi song (score included). Each verse is illustrated with the animal in the child's home. The song is particularly upbeat and fun for children, who can memorize the lyrics and sing it themselves; but the illustrations, while funny, are fairly average.
I especially enjoy this book paired with the version of the song performed by Eric Heatherly on Country Goes Raffi (although this album contains some other songs that are so annoying I burned an edited copy to play in our home). Another good transition-to-reading book.
Summary of Down By the Bay (Raffi Songs to Read)
A classic silly song that toddlers know and love, Down by the Bay has been a favorite and best-selling Raffi Songs to Read/reg/ since it was first published in 1988. In this friendly board book edition, irresistible art by Nadine Bernard Westcott depicts wonderfully amusing creatures such as a bear combing his hair, a goose kissing a moose, and a whale with a polka-dot tail. Very young children will find this book both entertaining and instructive in early language skills such as rhyme, rhythm, and repetition, and will delight in hearing it read or sung aloud to them.General Books
